Post your MG Rover 1/4 mile times

Post by _vitesse_ »

Its taken 3 years for me to better my time, I was so pleased I tried to find the old 1/4 mile list to add it to. I couldnt find it on Rovertech but found a saved version on my pc.
Its very out of date and most of the cars dont exist any more.
Ive started a new list, or is the old list still on Rovertech somewhere ? there must be lots of new cars and updated times.
Post your times so we can create a new list and maybe a mod can replace or update the old one when its complete.

I dont think anyone that visits the pod has done so in a stock Rover. Id imagine 14.8/14.9 @ 93-94 would be a good goal.

14.8 @ 96mph with a smashed out cat (no internals) and a magnex rear box , was as close to standard as the car ever was, bought it like that.
